Thank you Olivier. Yes, I forgot that I should have named "chromium-browser" rather than "chromium" when submitting the bug report.
I agree that there could have been problems when upgrading the old chromium browser using apt, but when using apt, the upgrade is user-initiated, and the user is informed that chromium is going to be upgraded. What makes the situation worse with the snap, is that as far as I recall, the upgrade happens without user knowledge or involvement. I don't recall being prompted to upgrade anything, it just seemed to happen automatically and invisibly, until I couldn't access my browser. It's the lack of info to the user that makes this particularly annoying.
